THU MOKW1ISU- UKKGOMAN, TUESDAY, OOTOBKK 14, Ho PUBLIC LOCKED OUT OF SULZER HEARING Testimony of Ryan, Morgen - thau and Peck Ts Issue in Impeachment. VERDICT NOT YET REACHED Crowds Remain ATjont Courtroom After Adjournment Expecting Governor to Appear and De mand to Be Heard. ALB ANT, N. T Oct IS. The High Court of Impeachment, which is to ae clde the guilt or innocence of Gover nor Eulzer. failed today to reach a verdict. After a session of one and one-half hours, virtually all of which wu in secret, the court unexpectedly a Journed until 11:30 o'clock tomorrow to permit further argument by coun sel relative to the testimony f Allan A. Ryan, Ambassador Morgenthau and Duncan W. Peck, Superintendent of Publlo Works. This testimony had to do with al leged efforts of Governor Sulzer to suppress evidence against him and obtain political Influence to stop the trial. The offenses alleged in tnis con nectlon were not specified in the eight articles of impeachment, and immedi ately upon the convening of the court today Jndge Miller, of the Court of Appeals, raised the question aa 10 where they fitted In. Executive Sesaloa Held. The executive session at once fol lowed. When the publlo again was admitted it was announced by Presid ing Judge Cullen that the court desired counsel to argue as to whether the acts and conversations of the Governor tes tified. to by Peck. Morgen thau and Ryan, "can be considered aa being acts of misconduct, for which the respond ent can be convictad under article 4. or only as corroborative evidence of the other allegations stated in the charges, and whether the court has the power, to amend the articles. If they are insufficient to include those acts, so as to include them.' Article 4 is the one dealing with the suppression of evidence, alleging that the Governor tried to prevent Frederick I Colwell, Louis A. Sarecky and Melville B. Fuller from testifying before the Frawley investigating com committee. - It mentions neither Ryan. Morgenthau nor Peck, but does in clude in Its text the words "all other persons." Secret Sessions Expected. Because each of the eight articles is to be voted on separately, it was found that when the members of the court were ready to convene today there was much doubt as to the article un der which the testimony should be considered. It was announced by counsel that ex Senator Brackett and John B. Stanch field would argue the question for the Impeachment managers and D. Cady Herrlck and Louis Marshall for the defense. The general belief to night seemed to be that all delibera tions of the court henceforth would be in secret and that the public would only know the result. Scores of spectators remained around the courtroom until long after court had adjourned. A story was started that Governor Sulzer might appear and demand to be beard and a close watch was kept tor him.
